New Jersey set to receive $425 million in federal infrastructure funding, Murphy says
NEW YORK -- New federal infrastructure funding is coming to New Jersey.
Gov. Phil Murphy said the money will go toward various projects, including a pedestrian tunnel at the Long Branch station that he says is long overdue.
"This tunnel means that residents will be able to get to the other side of town, which means more customers for the businesses on the other side of the tracks," Murphy said Wednesday.
